Want your picture with Hillary Clinton for that special vanity wall? Raise $10,000 or even $20,000 for her campaign, and it’ll happen.
Democratic presidential front-runner Clinton will be hobnobbing with top theatrical agents and the owners of pricey restaurants when she returns to the Southland yet again to raise more campaign funds May 23.
Tickets for an early evening event at the home of Bryan Lourd and Bruce Bozzi are $2,700, according to an invitation obtained by City News Service. Individuals raising $10,000 will be co-hosts of the event and will have a photo taken with Clinton.
The maximum individual contribution under federal law for a candidate seeking his or her party’s presidential nomination is $2,700, but convincing others to give can get you up to that $10,000 level so you can have your picture taken with the candidate.
Lourd is the managing partner of the Creative Artists Agency talent agency. Bozzi is a co-owner of The Palm restaurants chain. The event is also hosted by Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine Vogue.
An evening fundraiser in Hancock Park will follow, with tickets priced at $1,000. However, the cost of a Hillary picture at that evening event will be going up from the $10,000 early evening rate. You’ll have to have raised $20,000 to have a photo taken with Clinton that night.
The trip will be the 68-year-old Clinton’s 12th to the Los Angeles area since declaring her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination on April 12, 2015 and second this month.
Clinton held 26 fundraisers during her previous visits, including two during her most recent visit on May 5.
